Prós e contras em comparação
Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

O epíteto "Besta" não é completamente despropositado, a KTM é e continua a ser uma moto naked brutal - 177 cv de dois motores com uma cilindrada combinada de 1301 metros cúbicos não é nada inofensivo. No entanto, é surpreendentemente fácil de controlar; a posição de assento vertical combinada com o bom manuseamento fazem-na parecer quase dócil. Em comparação com o seu antecessor, foi melhorado precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado em termos de qualidade. Mas continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curvas longas.
Kawasaki Z 800 2013

No geral, a Z800 teve um desempenho sensacional. Considerando o facto de que nada foi alterado ou optimizado no veículo para além do silenciador traseiro Remus, o resultado final foi excelente.
